How Can I Delete Entire Row in Tables?

To start, I am very new to MySQL and have been reading the manual as much as I can but sometimes it's a bit overwhelming with options:

I have created my database with some tables and also entered some data in the tables. Now I would like to know how I can simply delete an entire row of data from my table:

mysql> select * from it;
+-----------------+-----------+--------+-----------------------+---------------------------+
| name            | username  | office | position              | mail                      |
+-----------------+-----------+--------+-----------------------+---------------------------+
| Carlos Williams | cwilliams | 124    | Administrator   | NULL  |   
| Jason Madeline  | jmadeline | 124    | Administrator | NULL  |
+-----------------+-----------+--------+-----------------------+---------------------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

My question is how would I use the "delete" syntax to remove the entire row of "Jason" from the table?

mysql> delete from it where ?
